Job description
Join a fast-paced emergency department in Fort Madison, Iowa, as a travel RN and put your skills to the test. This 13-week contract offers an engaging opportunity where you'll be responsible for rapid assessment, triage, and direct patient care in a setting that demands quick thinking and precise judgment. Prior experience with EPIC EMR is required, and you'll need to self-study telemetry strips and pass a basic dysrhythmia test during orientation to qualify for this unique role. While you'll primarily focus on patient assessment and coordination, occasional on-call shifts during low census periods keep you on your toes. Work a 36-hour week in a role that promises both challenge and reward, with the chance to make a difference in a busy emergency environment that values responsiveness and expertise.
